My recollection is that Stop Asian Hate only really kicked into gear with the
Atlanta massage parlor shootings in March 2021. The (white) shooter's motives were known almost immediately. He was a self-proclaimed "sex addict" who frequented these spas/brothels, but was also raised a devout Christian, and the contradiction caused him to snap and he shot up the spas. Likely he was always a mental case and a ticking time bomb. There was absolutely no racial motive; "massage parlors" simply tend to employ Asian women.
Your recollection is 100% correct. The Atlanta shooting was the powderkeg that sparked #StopAsianHate and was their "George Floyd." It was a perfect combination of factors:
1) The attacker was a White male
2) The attacker was an "incel" (sexually frustrated)
3) The attacker's weapon was a gun
4) The victims were Asian women
Yet though all this was known, the media and Asiansphere seized on the incident as an example of how Asians are "hated". Also, it was all Trump's fault because he often said "China virus" in his tweets. In many ways it parallels BLM; an incident having nothing to do with race becomes proof of white racism, though the claimed causality makes no sense.
Blacks have been attacking Asians decades, long before the massage parlor shooting and long before Trump. It goes as far back as the Rodney King protests in the 70's and what we now call the "Roof Koreans" who protected their business from niggers and spics after being failed by the cops.
It goes back even further than that. In the early days of Asian immigration into the US, they had to form gangs to protect themselves and their families from Black and Hispanic gangs.
From then on, more stories of Asians being victimized were vigorously shared, to further prove how bad Asians have it in this racist country. That was the point where anyone paying attention would notice the race of the perpetrators.
The media began with showing Asians getting verbally racially abused by White men and women and the very few examples of physical assault. When they inevitably ran out of material, the media or the Asian activists had to use examples of Black on Asian to continue to breathe life into #StopAsianHate. And of course, we can't have someone be more of a victim than Blacks, so #StopAsianHate immediately got shut down.
The funny thing is that leftist Asians were still cucking for BLM while supporting #StopAsianHate.
Of course, the claim that Asians are particularly unsafe in America is baseless. Such attacks remain very rare per capita.
In general that is true but it depends on what statistic you look at. If we're talking about rates of interracial violence relative to the population, Black on Asian is of ridiculous exponential proportions.
To be sure, there were precursors before 2021. In 2017, an Asian guy was pulled off a United flight because they were overbooked (and he refused to go peacefully). He was literally chosen at random by the computer, yet you heard Asians shrieking that this was another example of anti-Asian racism.
I think I remember this. I can't remember if he was being unreasonable or if he was mentally ill in the first place. But obviously it had nothing to do with "cuz he woz Asian"
One that stuck with me was a black guy attacking an asian old lady because he apparently thought she was hispanic
For me it's the Black teen fly kicking an elderly Asian lady at a bus stop. I can't find the vid.
